It&#39;s amazing that many moderates consider Mormons libertarians, or moderates, or Barry Goldwater types. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Mormons are to the right of the traditional christians on most issues (not all). I don&#39;t approve of biblethumpers (or koran, or torah thumpers) but the Book of Mormon/LDS counts as one of the greatest farces of US History--be sure the Founders would agree with that . <br /><br />James Buchanan , usually considered a Jeffersonian thought so--though the US Army could not stop King Brigham and his LDS army (ie, the US Army turned tail, more or less). Romney will not prove successful, mainly because of his connection to the LDS cult. <br /><br />Here&#39;s an example of the sort of freaks who support LDS these days: <br /><br /><a href="http://new-worlds.org/blog/" rel="nofollow">New Worlds</a><br /><br />This piece of mierda &quot;Byronius&quot;, from Sacto CA, supported Schwarzenegger, and most GOP causes--yet puts on a liberal schtick to help out his rinky-dink mail order business. Even the few rational democrats around Sac. consider him a shrieking nutcase. IN this case, it&#39;s LDS on LSDPerezosohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875109580933192779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3470998992775036574.post-4668330494190515142011-03-01T16:41:38.915-08:002011-03-01T16:41:38.915-08:00Freedom and liberty, once won, must be but be cher...Freedom and liberty, once won, must be but be cherished and guarded as life itself.

We simply need to look at the main 2 or 3 issues facing our country, fix those and the others will fall into place. Look at where we were when Reagan took office. We had unemployment, stagflation, gas lines, Iran hostage, after 4 years of Carter. Reagan was a great President and leader, but he wasnt the second coming. We can get ourselves out of this malaise as long as we don&#39;t irreparably split over irrelevant social issues. The biggest threat to preventing the repairing of the country is the religious right/libertarian split. If we get past that divide early in the election cycle and unified then we beat BHO and the progressives. Otherwise we may as well hang it up.Andrew33https://www.blogger.com/profile/12727106195950368976noreply@blogger.com
